Catalogue card E 1886.67.10-22 reads [handwritten in black ink:] ‘D. * H.M. Brunel Esq. AR. 1886.67, (10-22).’ The Annual Report for 1886, p.3 reads ‘In those cases in which the objects have not been presented directly, but have been purchased with money subscribed to the Museum Accession Fund, an asterisk is prefixed to the name of the donor.’
[Later addition handwritten in pencil:] ‘16/1/79 I found 11 spear throwers given by Brunel in 1886; 5 of them have been Z-ed i.e. Z 1357, Z 1360, Z 1361, Z 1361, Z 1363 = Z 1364. Individual cards have been made for each spear thrower. All the objects have O.I. numbers on them, p.t.o.’;
[Continued handwritten in pencil on back of card:] ‘The nos should be as follows.
√ O.I.18 - Z 1360 = 1886 67 (10)
√ O.I.19 (1) - Z 1364 = 1886 67 (11)
√ O.I.19 (2) - Z 1363 = 1886 67 (12)
√ O.I.20 (1) - - = 1886 67 (13)
O.I.20 (2) - - = 1886 67 (14)
O.I.20 (3) - - = 1886 67 (15)
O.I.21 (1) - - = 1886 67 (16)
√ O.I.21 (2) - Z 1361 = 1886 67 (17)
O.I.22 - - = 1886 67 (18)
O.I.23 - - = 1886 67 (19)
O.I.24 (2) - Z 1357 = 1886 67 (21)
Separate cards have been made.’
